It ain't over till its over. He wasn't a master of the English language but he was quite right. It may be Tuesday when they take the actual final vote, so keep up the pressure, email, call, sign any petition such such as nostimulus.com. They may have Collins, Snowe and Specter but there must be some shaky Democrats that see their political life coming to and end if they support this. Although I have to say I didn't see any, but I suppose they are not going to broadcast it.
They haven't taken another poll since about mid week and the package only had a 37% according to some polls and even less by others. I suspect these are the Obama water on water crowd. Obama didn't have much to do with the writing of the bill mostly Pelosi and company. In fact the man has never written a bill in his political life, co sponsor of a writen bill is as close as he gets. I guess there isn't much call for bill writting when your a community organizer. Sorry, I can't help myself, my paperboy has more business experience than Obama and now he is going to tell companies how to run their business. He is so far over his head. Unfortunately what we saw before the election is true and even worse, this guy is nothing more than a left wing radical and now the President of the United States, I guess what makes this country great is also going to kill us. Every time I hear him speak without a script it is obvious he isn't as smart or as articulate as the Obamaites would hope. Yes, George Bush was no Ronald Regan and wasn't a great communicator, but one on one he was good, he is way smarter than the left thinks. Personally, I wouldn't take the job for a Trillion dollars a year, a thankless job at its best. And I guess that is the feeling of some of the really good Republican Senators I saw give passionate speaches trying to save our country from the virus that has infested our government.
I still think that 6 years is way to much for a Senator. My plan would be 4 years and only two terms, fresh blood all the time. As I watched the Senate debate, it was hard not to notice that there were Senators that couldn't pay attention and couldn't keep vertical, they should have left the Senate years ago. Case in point, you know how much I dislike Susan Collins, she is now entrenched until at least 2014, geeze I wish my state had some decent repesentation.
Just an aside, Michael Steel gave the Republican response to the Presidents weekly radio address. I think they put the right guy in, I like him.
This isn't much of a post, but keep up the good work, keep the pressure on, it might not work but then again it just might.
